Center for Asian Studies

The Center for Asian Studies is sponsoring a lecture on Wednesday, May 27, at 3 p.m. concerning the impact of current U.S. relations with China on medical research. The speaker, Dr. Steven Pei from the University of Houston, will be speaking via Microsoft Teams. For further information contact Dr. Dennis Kratz , director of the Center.

In addition, the Center will offer a new course this fall: HONS 3190 will explore Issues in Asian Studies and meet Thursday afternoons at 4 p.m. While conditional on university policy, the class is planning to be held both in-person and remotely. More information is available on the CAS website .

Kratz said that while a number of earlier events had to be cancelled because of the COVID-19 outbreak, he has been talking with UT Dallas colleagues, educators and directors of similar centers, and community leaders to refine the center’s role in developing programming and a focus for research.
